Indeed. And fixed.

Yeah, small islands with 90,000 people are lucky that they can actually rely on banks to make them rich and don't actually need any viable industry of any kind. In other words, Jersey and the Channel Islands are utterly useless and pose no value to anyone or anything anywhere on earth except tax avoiders (kind of like Hong Kong)

What a load of Crap!
2 biggest industry is tourism! ( majority visitors from UK ) and 3rd is agriculture!

Trusts and investment funds was estimated at £700bn-£800bn. The figure is equivalent to about half of the UK's annual economic output.

Lots of third-world basketcases have tourism and agriculture as big industries.

I think it is far more odd that Jerseyboi didn't start the thread and that it took a whole page before he made a post.

Because even he realised posting naked men was inappropriate in this thread, which is his default post.

You do realise those trusts and funds are not actually 'yours' right?

But hey, if you want them (properly that is), you are more than welcome to them. I'm sure Jersey could bail out those banks and print enough of it's currency to keep that shit viable.

I say we sell Jersey to the highest bidder

At £700bn EBITA we could get quite a bit for it.
